This invention relates to knit garments and particularly to a knitscarf, the object being to provide a knit structure wherein there is aloosely knit center and a 'tightly knit edge.

A further object oi the invention is to provide a knit article whereinthere is provided a tightly knit edge at the sides and ends and looseknitting in the center imitating hand knitting in appearance andpresenting a Very distensible structure.

Figure 2 is an enlarged 'fragmentary View of part or the scarf shown inFigure l.

Figure 3 is an enlarged View ot' part of' the center ot' the scart'shown in Figure l, illustrating the scalloped or fesooncd arrangement otloops.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, l indicates the bodyor the garment which is provided with n loosely' knit structure, theloops of which fall over giving to the body a liestooned formation. Theknit body l merges into side edges 2 and 3 and also into the endstructures t and 5. These end structures and side edges are a tightly orclosely knitted section of the garment but 'formed from the Same yarnsas the body l. T."vhere the device is made into a scarf, suitable tasse]members Serial No. 161,872.

6 and 'T are formed from certain of the yarns. lVhere the device is toform part of a sweater or to be made up in some other iorm of garment,the edges 2 and 3 will act to receive the lines of stitching of threadconnecting' up the parts of the garment. These edges being tight willreadily receive lines of stitching Very much on the order of woven goodswhile body l is loose in its general appearance. vVlien the parts arestretched apprcciably, the body l will appear as shown in Figure 2 andthe various loops 8 will assume the usual position of an ordinary knitgarment. Then relaxed, the loops 8 will fall over somewhat and presont a'lestooned structure shown more or less in Figure 3.

The scarf described herein, may be manufactured by the machine andmethod disclosed in my co-pending application, Serial No, 188,758.

Vr'hat I claim is:

A machine knit scarf. comprising a flat knitted body having a looselyknit center. the loops ot' which fall over giving to the loops of theconter a festooned formation` and haring tightly knit edges and ends,said edges and ends normally maintaining said loops of the center inicsooned formation, whereby the scart presents the appearance of beinghand knit.
